Versus Invictus, Round Four

Agents' Turn:

Valesia retreats to F1 and downs an Aetherbrew: 4 + 3 = 7 Spirit restored!

Glenn stays put and provides cover fire versus Invictus: (6, 1, +2) vs (6) = 3 successes - 1 success = 2 damage

Soren moves to B1 and casts Hampering Hold: (5) = 1 success = Invictus Restrained for 1 round, -1 spirit

Max holds his ground and fires on Invictus: (5, 6, +1) vs (3) = 3 successes - 0 successes = 3 damage

Invictus' Turn:

Invictus casts pulling point on Max, dragging him to B4: (3) - (+1) = 0 successes - 1 success = 0 damage, -1 spirit.

Invictus lunges with his Conqueror's Talons: (4, 6, 4, +1) vs (4, 2, +1) = 4 successes vs 2 successes = 2 damage

An Aetherbrew has Valesia feeling in tune with the harmonies of the desert, even with Invictus' insidious static scraping against her eardrum. Soren proves he has some magic tricks of his own. Channeling his connection to nature, brisk desert wind swirls around the warbot's legs, crystallizing into a restrictive sheathe of ice. He has no choice but to sit nice and still as Max and Glenn plug him full of bullets. invictus looks at Soren with some consternation.

"You four. Full of surprise."

"...You know, you have a good head on your shoulders, Elf. You're right. So why am I still playing fair?"

Invictus clenches his fist and lets a gravity sink pull Max in. With a grunt of exertion Invictus shatters his ice shackles, and in a flash lunges for Max. His swift kick is met with Max's rampart shield, but his talons sink into the shield and grab it. With another hiss of effort Invictus lifts Max off the ground and slams him back down, pinning him beneath his own shield for a moment with his foot.

mAwLBYG.png

"Give up. Let me silence the AI. It's not too late," Invictus urges, leaning over to look Max in the eye as he keeps him prone in the sand.Not wanting to be left a sitting target, Invictus disengages and hops back. He was starting to show some physical damage.

"Give up, huh. Surrender myself to the oligarchs of Savior City. Enter their custody. Have them dissect this body, reverse engineer the blue prints, churn out consumer grade copies of me for private security purposes within the next cycle," Invictus muses. "I'll pass. If you beat me and drag my carcass back with you as evidence, my parts go to the highest bidder and the exact same scenario plays out." Invictus shakes his head. "If there's two things people can't resist, it's a chance to profit and a shiny new weapon to point at their enemies."

Invictus plants his feet, hand on his arm cannon. "Just throwing out a theory or two. One thing is for certain... things around here get interesting if I fail to dispose of you four, here and now." Invictus laughs morbidly. It sounded distorted and off kilter, like his voice was being pushed through an electric sieve.

Max struggled up, first rising to one knee and only then being able to stand up. His head was pounding, he could feel bruises all over his body from being kicked down and despite Invictus having retreated his chest still felt like it pressed on his lungs.

"Y-yea i'll live." Max gathered his thoughts for a second as pain turned into resolve. "But i'm reserving those legs. I'll rip them out and take them home as trophies"

Maximilian backs off to A3 and fires and Invictus

Versus Invictus, Round Six

Agents' Turn:

Valesia casts Sustaining Healing on Max: (3, 1, 5, +1) = 2 successes = 2 vitality healed for Max, -1 spirit for Valesia

Glenn holds his ground and attacks Invictus: (5, 3, +2) vs (4) = 3 successes - 1 success = 2 damage

Soren moves to B2 and shoots invictus: (5) = (1, 4, +2) vs (5) = 3 successes - 1 success = 2 damage

Max backpedals to A3 and shoots Invictus: (6, 2, +1) vs (5) = 2 successes - 1 success = 1 damage

Invictus' Turn:

Invictus marches to B3 and attacks Soren: (2, 4, 1, +1) vs (1, 1, 5) = 2 successes - 1 success = 1 damage to Soren

Invictus strikes at Soren again: (5, 6, 3, +1) vs (1, 3, 2) = 3 successes - 0 successes = 3 damage to Soren

Max could feel some of the ache start to alleviate as Valesia healed him, but his bruises remained. A round from Glenn's gun rips off a chunk of Invictus' shoulder, and another shot from Soren lodges itself in his arm cannon. The warbot almost manages to dodge Max's cover fire, but it just barely grazes him. Still unimpeded, the robot is finally given free reign, able to march up next to Soren and swipe at him with his talons. The first swipe barely manages to leave a gash on Soren's face, and the second lunge lets Invictus clamp down on Soren's shoulder with one of his claws, crunching one of his bones.

The party was starting to look a bit ragged, but the static in Invictus' helmet was stuttering and freezing up. He was getting worse for wear too.

Soren spits out blood, reeling from the attack. 

'That all you got, you metal bastard? 

He limps back to B1, gun in hand, firing at Invictus.

Valesia, bust our your big guns; don't bother healing me. We take this thing down here and now

“If you go down sweetie we are going to be in trouble, I hope you know what you are doing. Glenn, be a dear and shoot that bot, off of Soren can ya?” Valesia focuses her energies on channeling the natural harmonies around her into a living cascade of thorns, slamming as an elemental bolt into Invictus. “You wish us to assume the worst of other’s motives yet demand we trust yours, not? No, this ends here.”

Maximilian would have liked to not take risks like the one Soren was taking, but his hand was forced. Now they really had to hit their shots.

Max moves to A5 and fires at Invictus

Versus Invictus, Round Seven

Agents' Turn:

Valesia casts Elemental Bolt against Invictus: (6, 2, 3) = 1 successes - 0 armor = 1 damage, -1 spirit for Valesia.

Glenn shoots at Invictus: (1, 6, +2) vs (5) = 3 successes - 1 success = 2 damage

Soren backpedals to B1 and fires at Invictus: (3, 6, +2) vs (4) = 3 successes - 1 successes = 2 damage

Max backpedals to A5 and shoots Invictus: (6, 6, +1) vs (1) = 3 successes - 0 success = 3 damage

Invictus' Turn:

Invictus marches to B2 and attacks Soren: (2, 4, 1, +1) vs (5, 5, 6) = 3 successes - 3 successes = 0 damage to Soren

Invictus strikes at Soren again: (5, 1, 2, +1) vs (2, 2, 5) = 2 successes - 1 successes = 1 damage to Soren, Soren rendered unstable.

The party opts for an all out offensive., trying to put the warbot down for good. Valesia's barrage of thorns don't entirely find the mark, Invictus managing to dodge much of the shrapnel, but his tall frame proves to be easy target practice for Glenn, Soren, and Max. Max unleashes what would've and should've been the killshot, but the warbot hangs on by a thread, smoke emitting from its chest cavity. Servos gnashing and screaming, Invictus walks over to Soren to see if he can finish the job. He lunges once, viciously, the critically wounded hero somehow riposting the blow. It's the second attack where Invictus gets Soren by the neck, and with a single squeeze of his talons, the agent falls.

mAwLBYG.png

"...It hardly matters," Invictus says, looking over Soren's body as he drops it to the ground like a ragdoll. "I'm going to lose. I'm going to... Lose. Hah. When was the last time..." Invictus seems to remember something, and then briefly falls silent. "Well. I'll just have to start preparing for round two is all..."

MM Note: Normally I would autoroll here, since victory is in hand, but with Soren's KO I'll let you roleplay/decide who is stabilizing him.

The Battle Nears Its Conclusion!

At first Max is happy with himself, having unleashed a devastating salvo on the warbot, but then he realizes that Invictus isn't stopping. He can only watch in horror as the Phantom of Nendara brutally wounds Soren. 

"Soren!... Valesia can you get to him? I have nothing left to help him with." Turning to Invictus Max shouts "Round two? How's this for a round two?" and begins firing repeatedly at the robot.

Valesia gasps as she watches one of her companions go down for the first time, the melody of his life force growing softer. "No, no, no. Hang on Soren!" Valesia begins weaving a casting of Sustaining Healing, "Glenn, continue firing, blast that sodding thing out of here."

As life flows back into his lungs, Soren sputters, grabbing his gun and firing it at Invictus as soon as he can. If Invictus is dead, he fires at the bot's husk anyways.

Versus Invictus, Round Eight

Agents' Turn:

Valesia casts Sustaining Healing on Soren: (5, 2, 6) = 2 successes = 2 vitality returned to Soren, Soren stable and awake, -1 spirit to Valesia

Glenn goes for the decisive hit on Invictus: (4, 6, +2) vs (3) = 4 successes - 0 successes = 4 damage, Invictus destroyed

Soren and Max continue to spray Invictus with bullets as he falls

The battle was all but in hand. Valesia had one task left in this bout, to help her fallen comrade up. Valesia could hear Soren's life force seep away, but in his damaged state, Invictus didn't emit as much dissonance. The Cladrasith is able to focus and bring Soren back to consciousness as Glenn steadies his hand. With one last decisive shot to the chest, Invictus' legs buckle, and, he drops to his knees.

mAwLBYG.png
"I see." The warbot sounded oddly at peace. "Until next time. I'm sure we'll meet again... again. Again, again, again, again, -again, -again, -again, -again, -agai-"

His voice was skipping like a record, the static growing louder, louder, louder, before Soren and Max unload the rest of their clips into the body of the battle machine. Invictus falls to the sand, servos popping and wires bursting, letting out a low series of beeps and tones before powering down for good.

It seems that the warbot relied at least partially on some sort of Adrenaline Decoction based fuel source to enable his relentless aggression.

Warbots were not typically so capable of tapping into the Arcane, but it seemed Invictus knew this and equipped himself appropriately.

A broken, severed leg from Invictus' body. The pneumatic tubes are too damaged to enable his signature crushing lunges, but the thing is still hefty enough to club someone over the head with.

The day won, a weary Glenn walks over to sit on an outcrop of rock near one of the ruined antennae.

"If you told me back during the days where I was serving for the Empire, that I would meet Invictus... I would've thought I was dead. And not like this," Glenn says, signalling to his gray complexion and laughing. "You three had me scared for a second when he was first pitching his story. Glad to see we got it together. What now?"

"If you told me back during the days where I was serving for the Empire, that I would meet Invictus... I would've thought I was dead. And not like this," Glenn says, signalling to his gray complexion and laughing. "You three had me scared for a second when he was first pitching his story. Glad to see we got it together. What now?"

Of those drops, I'm most interested in the decoction, by and by. 

The pilot glanced at the dilapidated hulk. I guess you take this into the city, 'rip it into parts 'nd see what you can find. As for the three of us, I believe we're 'bout done here?

"More or less. I don't see any reason why this mission isn't successful. We opened a whole damn big can of worms with this one, but that's how it goes, I suppose. We can head back into the bunker to check on - what name did you give it, Perry? But otherwise... ship this husk back to Savior City and it's a done deal." Glenn looks over the warbot's corpse. "We gotta keep a lot of it for evidence, so no pilfering the arm cannon, but, hell, the thing has two legs. Might as well let you folks take one of 'em."

Valesia watches as Invictus finally goes quiet, the static in the air and in her spirit finally clearing. The Cladrasith takes a moment to meditate, "Soren Hun, do you require more healing? That was a nasty hit you took back there." Valesia wipes away the sand and dust from her skirts, "Glenn, good shooting. You've brought a semblance of peace hopefully to yourself and others. I'd recommend we head back into the bunker and obtain the storage device." Moving toward the corpse of the robot she assess the Holo-scroll and the Talon"I'd be content to ensure either of these find a better use. Max any preferences, dear?"

Right. We should ensure the systems are all functioning, 'n spite of Invictus' intereference.

The pilot shrugs.

I'm not gonna make you exert yourself if you don't feel the need to. I can probably manage all right by myself.

"Mm. Gotta make sure the poor bastard is still alive. I'll stay here to watch the body. If you hear gunshots, come back. We don't want anybody swiping this evidence out from under us."

"Peace? Hell, I don't know what I'm feeling. It gives me a sinking feeling in my gut that he's still out there, and looking at his corpse is giving me agita. But on the other hand... If he's still out there, we can make him pay. That isn't peace. But it is purpose, and that's still something."

"It might take specialized equipment to get all of him out of there, you know. Stuff I don't have but myself or others could come back with later. Unfortunately with this old Empire tech, it's not always as simple as just ripping it out of the wall and throwing it in the skiff. I'd like to reiterate that you all did your duty. And more, really, considering who we just beat. The mission is a success. If you check on Perry now we can come back for him soon."

"You fought good, son. Could've made a hell of a solider. I think Heroica won't mind keeping you around."

The party doles out the spoils of war.

The bunker is a bit easier to navigate the second time around. Going back through its depths again, the agents are reassured to see red light spilling out of the corridor. The emergency power kicked back on, that was a good sign.

There's a low mechanical whirr, a series of beeps, and then Perry's hologram arm re-emerges from the wall.

"<<Confirm iden-iden-identification. Soren. Max. And - Valesia-ia-ia? Issuing apologies for vocal g-g-glitching. Apology issued.>>"

He wasn't dead. Very clearly worse for wear, but not dead.

"Purpose then, dear Glenn. Peace in time."

He wasn't dead. Very clearly worse for wear, but not dead.

Valesia navigates through the darkened corridors, relieved that the hologram still operated, at least partially. "Confirmed. We're here for the black-box, or whatever you can give us to carry the information to the appropriate authorities."
